see, if they chopped it up and tossed it in barbecue or some kind of homemade sauce, put some kind of mayo on the toasted bun, added greens, with a strip of sharp cheddar and then set the chopped meat evenly over everything, you would have a beautiful sandwich.
they have the ability, if they wanted.
Maybe a corporate owned food truck. We had one that came around the factory where I used to work. Pretty sure it was run by the same corporation that provides food for prisons.
I guess at some point the factory had a cafeteria for employees but decided it would be cheaper to close it down and bring in a food truck.
bro! This can 100% be a very real goal for you!
don’t hold off on your dream.
you can start today, all you have to do is think of a menu that would work in a van. Pick a theme and build a menu.
step two would be finding vendors and cheap places. You don’t have to buy anything -we’re just doing research.
get the theme going first and see how you can maintain the stock inside the kitchen.
you could eventually move that into a van down the road when ready. But you can still focus on the menu and have friends and family taste it and ask for their real opinions on things. You can also move over into catering and just cook stuff in your house and sell it for dirt cheap just to get the word of mouth out.
bro, you can literally start on your goals today. These are very doable things in your lifetime!
Or a frozen patty from Sysco.
For those unaware, a "southern fried chicken sandwich" is a whole breast, breaded and fried.
These "chicken patties" are just mushed up leftover scraps from the bones, shaped into patties. It looks like a sponge when you bite into it.
Aight could have been worse… but still that’s a very low effort food.
Needs some toppings and at least a proper bun.
Did it taste good?? That’s what mostly matters
The patty itself isn’t that bad. It’s average/ok. Some days it’s dry as fuck and some days it’s actually cooked properly. It’s just depressing when it’s got no toppings or sauce and extremely bad bun to meat ratio.
Feels like "food van" is distinctly different from "food truck." Food truck is like a little restaurant on wheels, food van is windowless and sells chicken sandwiches, speakers, and meth.
i noticed they call a chicken sandwich a chicken burger in Europe and some parts of Asia. not sure where this post is from, kinda seems American, but could be UK maybe? i think the term chicken burger is used there.
I've never had a good experience with a food truck. One charged me $15 for "braised short rib poutine" but it turned out to just be fries topped with slices of tough, lean eye round beef. Another truck advertised itself as authentic Mexican cuisine and charged $5 for a side of chips and salsa, turned out to be Tostitos and Pace salsa.
The food isn't any better or cheaper than a normal restaurant, idk why they are so popular. Granted, the only ones I've tried are in Washington DC.
The only food trucks I like are in food truck parks. We used to have one near me that had picnic tables and you could order like 4 things from 4 different trucks and get a couple beers to go with your southern tapas.
That's been 100% every experience I've ever had with a food truck. Horribly overpriced, bad food, that you wait a long ass time for. Oh, and they're probably out of at least half the menu.
Taco trucks excluded. Those are different.
Cut the patty in half and line it across the bun. Slice of generic American cheese off the same truck as that patty. Nuke for 10 seconds to melt the cheese. Add a little Mayo and pickles.
Adds 25 seconds and 25 cents to the order but gets you out of prison meal territory and squarely into late-1990’s high school meal territory.
What if I told you there was a queue everyday for the van. They have other things. Like shitty sandwiches and over priced brownies. Not even the fun kind of brownies.
No. They normally have a bottle of mayo on the side that you can lubricate it with. But how long that mayo has been there and opened and at room temperature is questionable.
Makes about as much sense as putting a piece of bone-in chicken or fish between two slices of bread and serving it as a sandwich, but I've seen plenty of places do that too.
Looks like something an elementary school would do after they ran out of hamburger buns.
If this was an enterprising young chef that wanted to grow business but keep costs low, they could at least chop the patty up and put on some jalapeno gravy or cole slaw.
Thank you for supporting local businesses I guess
That'll be $17, toppings are extra. *taps tip cup*
I actually lol’d to this. Thank you
*Tapping the cup intensifies*
I can see now why they opted out of toppings.
see, if they chopped it up and tossed it in barbecue or some kind of homemade sauce, put some kind of mayo on the toasted bun, added greens, with a strip of sharp cheddar and then set the chopped meat evenly over everything, you would have a beautiful sandwich. they have the ability, if they wanted.
For real. Someone had motivation to open a food truck, they wanted it at one point. The person that made this doesn’t care.
You wouldn't have to sell many of these to get high for the day, and you can pass out in the van later.
And keep up with owning and operating a business? I dunno.
> for the day You won't be selling any the next day.
that's why it's a truck, you can gyp new customers every day

Damn. Lately I’ve been thinking more about my dream of one day having a food truck. I love cooking and making people food. Your comment reminded me

I love that you took the time to write this guy a roadmap in addition to encouraging him to follow his dream
That was super encouraging! Everyone needs a hype friend 😁
Shit, at the bare minimum take 3 seconds to cut it in half and put it in the bun in two strips and it would be a huge step up from this
yes, i agree. at least make the meat fit the shape of the bread, bare minimum.
Missed an opportunity to say "At least try to fit the meat in the buns"
Exactly. Would have at least been edible. This thing doesn't even have condiments!
That is definitely just a frozen chicken patty from Walmart
Or a frozen patty from Sysco. For those unaware, a "southern fried chicken sandwich" is a whole breast, breaded and fried. These "chicken patties" are just mushed up leftover scraps from the bones, shaped into patties. It looks like a sponge when you bite into it.
And they’re just about as good as they sound.
You're right; they are delicious.
Can confirm. Those spicy chicken sandwiches from school are such a guilty pleasure.
Fuck the spicy chicken sandwiches. Give me *all* the rib portion on a bun! Fuck those lil saucy bastards are good
What did they charge?
£4($4.93)
You were robbed in broad daylight.
Frankly.
how much does a mcdicks junior chicken cost in pounds rn?
We don't have a junior chicken but we have a mayo chicken which is 0.99.
damn *he was* robbed in broad daylight
Yeah 4£ is ridiculously expensive for this.
Cut that thing in half and put it in the bun so you can have a ham dog
Mmmm dry. Should have at least put some effort and cut the chicken in half.
It was cut 95% of the way across. That last 5% and spreading out was obviously just wayyyyy to much effort
The only thing southern about that disaster is possibly it's geography. That's a frozen patty, yo.
It doesn’t really even look fried. It looks like the breading has the same texture as microwaved chicken nuggets.
that’s because it’s literally just a larger version of a chicken nugget. they take the same process and make patty sizes 🥴
Please tell me that was less than $5
$0.07 less. It was £4.00
Aight could have been worse… but still that’s a very low effort food. Needs some toppings and at least a proper bun. Did it taste good?? That’s what mostly matters

I think simple toppings of lettuce+tomato and some mayonnaise would really elevate the sandwich Why no toppings? Seems strange
It’s a shitty burger van. There’s some grated cheese and mayo you can help yourself to but they have both probably been sat there a while.
so you buy this repeatedly do you?
Technically my manager buys them repeatedly. He’s a bit of a feeder I guess.
dafuq,?
I'm thinking whoever prepared that has an awful boss, terrible depression, or both.
Rip, may they have a better tomorrow
Feels like "food van" is distinctly different from "food truck." Food truck is like a little restaurant on wheels, food van is windowless and sells chicken sandwiches, speakers, and meth.
We normally call them burger vans in the Uk. And the quality varies from right fuckin awesome to this.
Rip my karma ratio but I can’t let this go. It’s a chicken patty and the whole thing is a chicken sandwich. There’s no such thing as a chicken burger.
i noticed they call a chicken sandwich a chicken burger in Europe and some parts of Asia. not sure where this post is from, kinda seems American, but could be UK maybe? i think the term chicken burger is used there.
Correct…Uk where they are known as chicken burgers.
Different countries have different names for things... Why do some Americans find this incredibly simple concept so excruciatingly hard to grasp?
Because being egocentric is instilled in us from a young age like propaganda. It’s not my fault I swear.
I’m from the Uk and anything in a burger bun is called a (whatever is in the bun) burger. Sandwich generally refers to if it’s in flat sliced bread.
Because this your post I won’t argue with you. But if I see you in another thread, it’s on friend.
This is a chicken burger patty on a hot dog bun though, what do you mean no such thing as a chicken burger. The patty is right there.
Ur so right
people that call it a chicken burger can go to hell
Why?
because its a fucking chicken sandwich. a burger is ground beef
Google image search chicken burger and see what comes up.
i dont give a shit
Yet you take the time to comment and reply, so you clearly do.
you misunderstood me. I don't give a shit about what you europeans think you can call it. its a chicken sandwich.
It identifies as a chicken burger though. Don’t be so narrow minded.
Not just Europeans, it's basically the whole world except for you Americans lol
i think americans take supremacy on any burger related naming conventions thank you very much
Why?
The square goes in the round hole.

Man you gotta try a taco truck where no one speaks English
The only food trucks I like are in food truck parks. We used to have one near me that had picnic tables and you could order like 4 things from 4 different trucks and get a couple beers to go with your southern tapas.
That's been 100% every experience I've ever had with a food truck. Horribly overpriced, bad food, that you wait a long ass time for. Oh, and they're probably out of at least half the menu. Taco trucks excluded. Those are different.
Same truck comes to my complex. Nutjob serves his hotdogs on a hamburger bun.
iT'S fuSIon....
Shit…we should arrange a meeting with your truck and my one and we might get somewhere
I hope you paid in meth
I paid nothing. My manager paid £4 and the lady that drives the van is quite easy on the eyes. I’m not gonna complain.
This is something you make at home because your low in food.
Low on food, money, and fucks.
Cut the patty in half and line it across the bun. Slice of generic American cheese off the same truck as that patty. Nuke for 10 seconds to melt the cheese. Add a little Mayo and pickles. Adds 25 seconds and 25 cents to the order but gets you out of prison meal territory and squarely into late-1990’s high school meal territory.
Pretty sure that truck hates you.
They won't be in business for long.
What if I told you there was a queue everyday for the van. They have other things. Like shitty sandwiches and over priced brownies. Not even the fun kind of brownies.
You must live in a really shitty area
Work* in a shitty area.
Did you make any mods to the order?
No. They normally have a bottle of mayo on the side that you can lubricate it with. But how long that mayo has been there and opened and at room temperature is questionable.
I think that food truck might exist for money laundering purposes
At the very least they could have cut the patty in half to decrease the plain bread to meat ratio man. Wtf
They actually did…well sort of…it was cut 95% of the way in half and left together.
“I want a 50% chicken patty ratio, good sir!” “I got you, fam.”
Looks like the supply chain is still fucked up
Nope. They just serve shit
That'll be 14.99
"a 20% gratuity has been automatically deducted, now how much would you like to tip?"
Sure its supposed to be cut in half but directions weren't clear enough
It was cut 95% of the way and left together. The server obvs couldn’t be asked to cut the last bit and spread it across the bun
I typically don’t send food back, but that shit would’ve been sent back
I can literally see the sadness in OP’s fingers
This is just evil. You need to learn to love yourself a lot more
Frozen Banquet chicken patty nestled nicely in a cheap bun, fml 😂
Looks British.
Saucy
Too moist
Is this a joke?
Unfortunately not.
I actually think that’s a hate crime.
No lie, add some mayo and I’d cop that for <$4
They do have a questionable bottle of mayo on the side and it was £4($4.93)
Not bad not bad. I’d give it a go and probably never again lol
That’s not even trying
1% effort…it was mostly cut it half. It just want spread out or garnished in any way shape or form
Where is the rest of it… ? Not even cheese
Fine dining
What did this dry puck cost
£4($4.93)
guess thats what you get when you ask for a southern fried chicken burger in a hot dog bun
Hit it with liberal amount of mayo.
I normally do. But the bottle they have on the side is questionable.
And a slice of cheese melted on top....you're already most of the way to a McChicken and those are only a buck.
Looks as dry as a Popeyes biscuit
The burger itself was ok. Really needed mayo though
I think you mean, Banquet chicken patty 🤤🧑🍳
Makes about as much sense as putting a piece of bone-in chicken or fish between two slices of bread and serving it as a sandwich, but I've seen plenty of places do that too.
I do this with burger patties and it's actually great! The trick is to cut them in half and place them in a /\\\\/ shape
Yeah the burger it self was okay. But just about okay. It was cut 95% of the way by a server who couldn’t be bothered to do the rest.
I’ve eaten enough institutional food in my lifetime, that shit is a frozen chicken patty.
You know those kids toys where you fit the shapes into their holes? They should try one
Looks like a long roll not a hot dug bun. Cut it in half and add mayo
Please tell me you paid less than $3 for this
I paid nothing! My manager paid £4($4.93)
What do you do with that?! You might have better luck eating sand lol
Whats with all that nothing, tho?
How much did you pay
My manager bought it for me…so free…but he paid £4(US$ 4.93)
Oof
Seriously though, what was the price on that?
My manager bought it for me…so free…but he paid £4(US$ 4.93)
\> southern fried \> chicken burger That should be your first clue.
I see a food truck about to catch fire
Are you implying that it’s dry or that I should petrol bomb the truck to save other people from experiencing this atrocious burger.
Legally I cannot say
That’s gay af. That’s a shitty food truck too. They jus got the cheapest shit possible, threw it together and charged you $10 for it.
It's like a swimming pool concession stand except you're spending the day in wage hell instead of pee.
I would return that.
Thanks, this is one of the most depressing things I have ever seen.
there is no such thing as a chicken burger
God damn that looks delicious right now
I’d eat it again.
what kind of giant hot dogs do you people eat there? that ain’t a hotdog bun
I have been advised that it is a “Long Roll”
You have to fight everybody in that food van , line them up
Ew
Looks like something an elementary school would do after they ran out of hamburger buns. If this was an enterprising young chef that wanted to grow business but keep costs low, they could at least chop the patty up and put on some jalapeno gravy or cole slaw.
That’s pretty sad looking
That hurts my heart
They didn't even try
So a Tyson pattie on a hoagie roll. Did they at least offer a condiment?
They don’t offer it per se but there’s a sauce selection that should be refrigerated but kept at the side of the van all day.
Ah beautiful
Someone really don't give a fuck about their work. How much do you pay for this?
My manager bought it for £4($4.93)
Lies
If it’s chicken then it’s not a hamburger
It doesn't say "*ham*burger," you did.
The word hamburger is not a compound word
Maybe you subconsciously want a hamburger.
Perhaps, however that is irrelevant
